i dont understand most magazines for girls. i mean, in one article they'll be talking about how you should love yourself the way you are, and that you're beautiful. but then they talk about the best make up to make you look prettier and the best workouts to lose weight. do you agree with me or am i just over thinking?

Hey girlie,

I think you're totally free to interpret this in your own way! Personally though, I see these articles as a way for girls to feel their most confident, learn how to take care of themselves/work out/eat healthy, and overall be a better person. A lot of girls (especially at our age) worry about not "knowing who they are." And they feel a lot of pressure to turn into someone else, just to please other people. So it's really important to remember that YOU are special and that, like you said, you should love yourself for who you are. But having confidence is a major part of that - for example, some people love being creative with makeup and the confidence it gives them. It's not about impressing other people by having the newest eyeshadow trend. It's about picking colors that work best for your skin tone/coloring so that YOU feel good about yourself when you look in the mirror. And it's always smart to treat your bod well and get a little exercise every day, so you are in shape and your bod can protect you against illnesses. It's not about losing weight - it's about respecting your body and taking good care of it. You only get one, after all Same with articles about guys - sure we have lots about how to "snag your crush," but it's not about putting on a show just to win him over. It's about learning to socialize, surrounding yourself with good people, keeping up healthy relationships, and making yourself happy. That's what it's all about, in the end!

MOD MOD MOD ok there is this guy i met on summer vacay i can still talk to him but he is two years older than me should i date him if i get the chance or let him go thx!

Hey girlie,

Do you like him? Does he like you? Does he respect you, make you feel safe/happy, treat you well? Ask yourself all these things and then see if you have anything in common. 2 years is a big age difference right now, but it could work if you have enough interests/passions/goals in common to bond over! <3 Just be careful and remember to NEVER feel pressured into doing anything you don't want to do. He's older so he might be a little more advanced/experienced - but that doesn't mean you should feel pushed to do anything you aren't ready for. If he's a good guy for you, he will respect that!

Memories! A song can totally take me back to a specific moment in time.Hard work. I'm in the band at school, so I have to keep my skills sharp. Chilling. I pop my headphones in and all my stress melts away. Getting pumped. The right music really gets me ready for a big game.
